Nakamura penalised following Budapest Sprint Race

Following the conclusion of the FIA Formula 3 Sprint Race, Jin Nakamura has been handed a post-race penalty.

On the opening lap of the race, the Hitech driver was involved in an incident with DAMS Lucas Oil's Gerrard Xie at Turn 2.

After the race, the Stewards heard from both drivers along with their team representatives, and examined video evidence.

They determined that Car 25 had been predominantly at fault for the collision, and applied a five-second time penalty to Nakamura.

With the Japanese driver failing to finish the Sprint Race, his time penalty has been converted into a three-place grid drop in accordance with Article 39.3(d) of the FIA F3 Sporting Regulations

Nakamura will serve the penalty in Sunday's Feature Race, and is now set to start from P12 on the grid.
